The U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet said Tuesday it will screen all personnel boarding its ships for coronavirus — formally called COVID-19 — as the virus spreads across Asia.
“We have developed plans to screen all personnel including but not limited to crew, visitors, civilians, contractors, and new check-ins gaining access to [7th Fleet] units and platforms,” said Lt. Joe Keiley, 7th Fleet spokesperson, in a statement. “These additional screening requirements will include newly gained personnel and those returning from leave.”.
